It would be hard for me to say which I like best, spring or fall, but this fall has been especially interesting to me, possibly because the tree colors are extremely vivid! I took this shot during my walk by the river this morning under overcast skies. While it would have been more brilliant with more sunlight, I think it captures what I mean.

It takes a combination of cool temperatures and rain to make fall especially brilliant and we have apparently had the perfect conditions this year. East Tennessee is alive and showing its stuff!

We should have this color for at least the next two weeks unless a heavy frost presents itself and spoils everything.The other two greener shots are from the Clifty Creek area near Harriman - a beautiful place that is now private property. As teenagers we used this area to shoot, hike, camp, and occasionally we were lucky enough to park there with a pretty gal!

If you click and enlarge the one with the arching trees over the creek, you can just make out a father and son slowly drifting out on Emory River fishing. It is trips, fall foliage, and quiet times like these that build memories that last.

Oh, Fall has fallen here too, but you wouldn't know that since we are still running the AC unit. The news told un that we had seen the last of the three digit temperatures but it's still hot as heck here in the desert. How I wish we had the trees drop all the leaves and to have those vivid colors of Fall that you so enjoy.

When you wrote two 22 0z., I read two dozen. I was like, holy shit, he's a lush, and then I read it again. Pfew. It's been a very long day. Pictures look like paradise. I've GOT to get a camera, and a scanner. It's rainin cats and dogs here now. Flooding in Houston I guess. Bummer for them.

How Does God Love You?

“An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.”
